Why ABC's "Commander-in-Chief" is a Condi Rice clone

I watched the first episode last night and most of it was amusingly dumbed-down and obviously intended to give the Hildabeast some kind of a boost in popularity. The lady who played the grieving First Lady's chief of staff was meeting with the new "First Husband" and discussing subjects like the White House menu, and in their talk I noticed that the name "Mrs. Clinton" was used three times while "Mrs Bush" was not mentioned.

Earlier the new President said something like "I wasn't an insider...I wasn't Gore...I wasn't Cheney." So they found it OK to mention Cheney but not OK to put Laura Bush's name in the script. Very odd...perhaps Laura makes Hillary look so bad in comparison that they refuse to mention Laura...lol.

That's two nights in a row you've posted this. Are you fixated on Condi now?

this is new. It explains WHY.
(Why ABC is using Condi Rice as its prototype.)

So you just use the same images for every thread. You ought to try and post a thread with less than 45 million K worth of images. It takes ten minutes to load up for all us still on dialup. That's ten minutes of my life I'm not willing to give up.

I'm sorry. I remember my dialup days. It is a real waste of time, even without my gazillion-byte graphics. ;)

It's too bad you can't get a faster connection.

Right on Mia!

I'm curious as the context of using "Mrs. Clinton" in the show.

Worthwhile effort. Some of us didn't get to see the first posting.

I plan on upgrading when this computer dies. No need to spend the dollars upgrading this computer just to go buy new one in a year or two.

I'm cheap and that's why my kid's get to go to a good school

The grieving First Lady's chief of staff was meeting with the new "First Husband" to discuss his role, his office facilities, and his staff, among other matters. During this meeting, she talks about Mrs. Clinton's role, office facilities, and staff. I taped this episode while I was at the grocery store and eating dinner. I'll see if I can find that scene and provide some exact quotes.
